Her stance on abortion and gun controls means I can not vote for her. There are certain issues that my morals and values prohibit me from supporting.

I simply do not understand why anyone would vote for hillary.

Has hillary "ever" shown a trace of morals and values?

Do you believe that Trump is being honest when he says his positions on those issues have changed?

homeless guys and the typical asshole who is always looking for a fight and you start thinking that some gun control is required.

We already have gun control on the books.

Hillary is doing nothing more than playing on an issue to gain support.

I read through the articles did not see anything special and that other people have not done.

Stood up for womens and gay rights at home and abroad? What about the middle east where women have no rights and gays are put to death. We still import oil for the middle east.

What legislation has she ever sponsored that helped everyday people?

Then I'd say stop trolling and learn how to read since you didn't read the links provided or done any research on your own.

Please do not derail the thread.

All I am asking for are example of what hillary has done.

Added bonus, include examples of where her morals and values are not for sale.

You don't even have to have a specific accomplishment, just policy positions. She hasn't suggested committing war crimes or violating the Geneva convention like her opponent. She doesn't want to remove marriage equality. She hasn't suggested changing libel laws to bully the press. She hasn't suggested violating the 1st Amendment in regards to people of the Islamic faith. She hasn't retweeted white supremacists with shocking regularity.

I could go on and on and on and on.

However, for the sake of Texashiker, I did a quick Google and someone has already compiled some answers here.

Those are reasons based on negative partisanship, i.e. why not to vote for Trump. While helpful it's not what the OP is asking for which was affirmative reasons to vote FOR Hillary.

To make it easier take Trump out of the equation and give OP reasons why he should vote for Hillary over all the other candidates including Gary Johnson and Jill Stein. You should probably avoid mental shortcuts like "she'll vote for SCOTUS justices" and focus on what she brings to the table and what you think she can accomplish. Holy crap you're being tossed a softball question here, you should be able to knock it out of the park if she is the amazing candidate you think she is.

You may be missing the point, what has she brought to the table since holding a public office?

Capt Caveman linked to some articles stating how hillary "helped" do this or that.

In that point I helped do everything hillary did because my tax dollars helped the government. You helped as much as hillary because you pay into the system.

What has hillary done for anyone to vote for her?

Not what her stance is, not how she "helped" do this or that because everything she did was a team effort.

I will vote for HRC for what she WILL DO:

pick progressive/liberal Supreme Court Justices.

:)

Just like What Michelle Obama said the other day, I'm voting for HRC because she will work towards something positive for my kids/grandkids.

Unlike Trump.

She'll just import more illegals to lower wages for your kids.

HAHAHAHA. You serious? There's an increasing amount of information indicating that Russia hacked the DNC with the intent to help get Trump elected and that Russian money is all over Trump (because he's fucked over so many US banks and has such a history of violating contracts that most won't work with him). There's never been a more likely "Manchurian candidate" than Trump.
Nice tinfoil hat. Are you sure you aren't Alex Jones in disguise? /chuckle

Just answer the questions, why would anyone vote for hillary.

All you did was post links to how hillary "helped" do this or that.

Where has hillary been a champion to any cause?

Examples of how where her morals and values have not been for sale?

All I see is her playing issues to get support.

If you ignore all the money his investors lost in bankruptcy and all the workers he screwed, and catch him at the peak of a real estate cycle, then he is a HUGE businessman.
Oh, the 4 business bankruptcies out of the 483 businesses? I would love to have those percentages on the companies I run (if I ran that many).

Being an active legislator is "helping". That's how representative government works. You vote on legislation, amend legislation, negotiate on legislation, sit on committees, etc. I'm not sure what you expect to have done on her own as one member of a much larger body beyond what's in the record.

It's not like anyone is going to convince you to vote for her since you're diametrically opposed to all her positions...

She is a rigged candidate put in place by the DNC. That is more corrupt than anything Trump could say or do, in fact Trump beat a rigged system since the RNC really didn't want him as candidate. The people voted, and Trump it is, love it or hate it. Either way hillary is a Manchurian candidate who will be helping Republican corporations and their agendas. At least with Trump, there is a chance that doesn't happen since he's so stubborn and can't be bought.

If Trump couldn't be bought he wouldn't slap his name on any POS that he thinks could make him a quick buck. Why people actually try and argue that he can't be bought is such a joke. He is his own special interest.

I don't give a fuck about abortion or gun control. I do give a fuck about a lunatic like Trump being in power though so I'm voting for Hillary.

So nobody has an exact reason why anyone should vote for her?

All I am asking for is an example of what she has done for this nation while holding a public office?

An example of her sponsoring legislation that has helped everyday working people would be nice.

It doesn't matter to you. You don't listen to anything that you don't want to believe.

This is a Texashiker thread--or did you not get the memo?

Being a tax payer is helping.

We all contribute to the system. But for some reason this helper wants to be the manager?

I have been watching the clintons since bill took office. I voted for Ross in that election.

There has been nothing but mistrust, lies and scandals since before the two of them left Arkansas. From whitewater all the way to benghazi.

I am baffled as to how hillary can stay in the public eye for this long?

The fact that you ignore and downplay her accomplishments of CHIP, 9/11 funding, etc make it useless to try and reason with a troll like yourself.

Her stance on gun control? You mean universal background checks? Those things that 80%+ of the country supports and, realistically, is minimal? The thing that people point out when a reporter trying to prove an AR-15 was super easy to get, but failed because of his state's background check? The whole "OMG coming for my guns" argument is such a joke. She isn't going to do anything, the same as Obama hasn't as far as taking away your guns. The amount the federal government will do is so minimal and such a joke and is such a weak argument against a candidate. The state is a different story (I live in MA, which has some serious restrictions).

The abortion part, well, I suppose I could see that, but do you really think Trump is honest about changing his mind? This isn't someone comparing beliefs from when they were 18 to 70. These are all recently held beliefs. Didn't he have multiple stances in just one day not that long ago?

And when she was a senator she tried to get universal health care, but she later sold out to the insurance companies.

Lets start by enforcing the laws that we arleady have on the books.

Out of the people who are denied a gun purchase, very few of those people are arrested and convicted.

you know it is against the law to try and buy a gun when that person knows they are prohibited from owning a gun?

That reporter that was denied a gun purchase, will he be arrested for trying to buy a gun when he was prohibited? Probably not. All the straw purchases made by reporters, will they be prosecuted? Probably not.
